The '''Briscoe Brothers''' are the professional wrestling [[Tag Team Match|tag team]] of '''Jay Briscoe''' (Jamin McAlmond) and '''Mark Briscoe''' (Mark McAlmond). They are currently wrestling for the American promotions [[Ring of Honor (ROH)|Ring of Honor]] (ROH), [[Full Impact Pro]] (FIP), [[Combat Zone Wrestling]] (CZW), and [[Pro Wrestling Guerrilla]] (PWG), as well as occasionally for the Japanese promotion [[Pro Wrestling NOAH]]. Jay Briscoe is the current [[ROH World Championship|ROH World Champion]].

Their wrestling careers have seen them work in promotions all over the United States and the world, beginning in the northeast United States with the [[East Coast Wrestling Association]] and Combat Zone Wrestling. They have won tag team championships in nearly every promotion they have worked for, and are seen as a consistent draw and one of the best tag teams on the [[Independent Circuit|independent circuit]].

Best known for working in Ring of Honor, the Briscoe Brothers are the only wrestlers currently working for the company who were featured on its first-ever event in February 2002. Other than [[Briscoe Brothers#Sabbatical from wrestling|an 18-month absence from August 2004 to February 2006]], the brothers have been focal points of the company throughout its history, feuding with some of their biggest stars and holding the [[ROH World Tag Team Championship]] a record eight times as a team. On December 29, 2007, during their fourth reign, the Briscoe Brothers became the longest reigning tag team champions in ROH history. The record was broken three years later by [[Kings of Wrestling (ROH)|The Kings of Wrestling]].

==Early life==
+
-
The McAlmond brothers, Jamin (Jay) (born January 25, 1984) and Mark (born January 17, 1985) grew up in [[Laurel, Delaware]]. As high schoolers, both received honorable mention All-State honors their junior and senior years for football, Jay as a fullback and a linebacker and Mark as a tight end and a linebacker. At one point, both were signed to play for [[Wesley College (Delaware)]], a fact even used in wrestling storyline at one point, at ROH ''Beating the Odds'', to explain an absence from which they were returning.
+
-

The brothers first became interested in wrestling in their youth by watching the [[IWE|International Wrestling Federation]] on one of the two channels their television could receive. Originally, they practiced wrestling moves with one another on a [[Trampoline|trampoline]] before the family built a wrestling ring in their backyard. From the beginning, the two of them worked on honing their craft, taping their moves and trying to improve them. Despite the fact that their dad was a coach for their high school's wrestling team, they did not participate in [[amateur wrestling]] in their high school years. Their first foray into professional wrestling came with the [[East Coast Wrestling Association]] (ECWA), while they were still in high school. While their mother, Jana, was in line to purchase tickets to attend a wrestling event, a promoter for the ECWA approached her and asked if her sons had a tape of themselves wrestling. This led to the brothers debuting for ECWA on May 20, 2000 under the ring names "Jay and Mark Briscoe".
